System crashes when sharing my screen

Desktop Environments Gnome
1

Hi, please help, my system crashes everytime I share my screen on Wayland, on Xorg it’s working fine, I can’t seem to get into TTY as well when it crashes, how do I get the important information from the logs about the crash?, I only know journalctl command.

Bei welcome on the purple :purple_circle: side :enos:
Not sure but I bet Wayland and screen sharing can indeed be buggy… easiest way is to use xorg session to not have such issue if possible

Hi Joe,

Yes, I’ve tried to use different display manager as well, and the issues still persists, for sure, while I can just switch to Xorg when I’m in the need of sharing my screen, but still if there is something I can do to fix this issue myself, I’ll be glad.

Here’s some information, I’ve read them, but I don’t think I can comprehend where the source of the issue is :slightly_smiling_face:

Welcome to the forum! :smile:

You have both Intel and Nvidia GPU.
Are you using both of them? If so, how do you switch from one to the other?
Can you also show the output of

pacman -Qs xf86-video
lspci -vnn | grep -P 'VGA|3D|Display'

inxi -Gaz to see what renderer is used please

using nvidia gnome on wayland… i bet it will have little issues… suggesting to use xorg session in this case… or noveau driver …

Thanks, Manuel!

I mainly use the Intel iGPU. I only use the Nvidia GPU for activities like playing games, usually I run them with the prime-run command.

Here they are :

Also, try uninstalling xf86-video-intel.

If you’re talking about the BIOS, I believe the 307 version is already the latest.

Just did it!, but is it because https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_graphics#Installation#note ?

Note: Some (Debian & Ubuntu, Fedora, KDE) recommend not installing the xf86-video-intel driver, and instead falling back on the modesetting driver for Gen 4 and newer hardware. See [1], [2], Xorg#Installation, and modesetting(4). However, the modesetting driver can cause problems such as screen tearing and mouse jittering on XFCE, artifacts when switching virtual desktops in Chromium, and vsync jitter/video stutter in mpv.

I’ve always thought that Xorg needs it for the Intel iGPU.

only for very ancient pre gen 4 intel gpus…
